Hello.
I will business trip on USA about monthly.
I have SGH-T989 and using T989D Telus rom (Because, 989D Telus rom is pure than t-mobile ROM) in my country korea.
So I've questions.
1) I paid "$50 unlimited data service"
This unlimited package include "unlimited talk"
"Unlimited talk" means only allow T-mobile to T-mobile ?
If I call T-mobile to ATT&T or Verizon, and I've no balance, what will occur?
(If another operator to call, and charge money, how much is it? (charge rate))
2) Mobile hotspot
If I use unlimited data plan, and using Smartphone Mobile HotSpot($15),
Can I use unlimited wifi tethering(mobile hotspot)?
3) Change plan in 1~2 days.
Yesterday I paid $50 unlimited plan, but I don't know If I exceed 500MB 4G speed, it will change to 2G speed.( I thought it will change 3G HSDPA)
So I will change plan to $70 unlimited plan on today, Is it possible?
Its just only additional charge $20 ?

I believe the unlimited talk is to any usa carrier.
2. Don't pay for mobile hotspot, it's free with a custom rom or work around. And yes it uses your data plan, so if you have unlimited.. You have unlimited hotspot.. But i don't remember tmobile having true unlimited data anymore... If they do it's very expensive.
3. 500? I thought the $50 plan is 100. But yes it changes to 2g. I don't think you can just add on $20 to change it. You can only change it with the full $70. So wait until next month.
Tips. There are other prepaid choices like simple mobile. I think there's some walmart plan too not sure

I heard that simple mobile provide only 2g service.
But I need 3G speed, becuase I will use notebook when file download.
So I prefer T-Mobile than Simple mobile.

Can my Simple Mobile phone be 'tethered' to use as a modem?
No, Simple Mobile does not allow tethering the phone as a modem.

So I will select T-Mobile 4G monthly plan.
Thanks.
actually it can.
there is nothing to stop you from using it.
- It is my part time job so i know this stuff...
I personally never used my t989 on simple mobile so i can't tell you the 3g speed of it, ask the others.
you can tether with any carrier you want as long as you have DATA access, and your phone will tether it for you. You can root your phone and freeze the apps that prevents you from tethering, use a 3rd party app, or run a custom rom.

I only know that remove tethering apk on at&t or tmobile phone.
Nor some custom roms organize tethering command on init.d or rc.d script.
If i get a simple mobile sim card, i will test about tethering and share information

I'm still using the 5GB data plan. Has anyone gotten the mobile hotspot to work with the truly unlimited data plan of tmobile? Or even the prepaid go plan of AT&T (i believe both might be disabled the same way?) I cannot confirm on the unlimited tmobile data since I' still on the 5GB plan, and on the AT&T prepaid (50/mo plan for non smartphone) the mobile hotspot cannot be turned on, it just goes back to off when turned on.
Could it be an apn setting? Please advice.
Thanks
About your post
Have you figured out a way cuz I justt used my 5GB of mobile hotspot for the my samsung galaxy relay with 4g
Ok, so I recently bought a Samsung GS3 from my sister that has T-mobile. I took it to metro and they unlocked it and activated it for me. I chose the $50 Plan which gives me 2.5gb of Blazing Fast Internet. I also purchased the mobile hotspot. When I reached 2.5gb of data, it slowed down. I tether to play xbox. Unable to afford legit internet lol. Before, I was able to tether with my LG Motion 4g for free!. I never lagged as much, I was able to connect my tablet and ran with some smooth speeds. (with the $50 Plan). So I called and managed to call metro pcs and they were able to change it back to the lg motion. My speeds were still slow!. I asked them if I can change it to the $60 plan since it was unlimited and they said that Tethering is not compatible? Is there a way to have Unlimited Data and tether at the same time? I don't want to pay for Unlimited Data without being able to tether to my other devices. HELP!
You can't add tether to the $60 plan, but you may be able to tether if you flash roms with native tether enabled, or search and find other ways to tether.. And on a side note, they did not unlock your device, all T-Mobile phones are compatible with metroPCS

Hi T-Mobile-ites!
I'm considering switching to T-Mobile but I have a question about the 2.5gb Mobile HotSpot vs unlimited 4G. I want unlimited 4G hotspot and wonder if anyone is doing this not through the Mobile HotSpot app, but rather through a stand alone WiFi app such as WiFi tether router by Fabio Grasso? Does T-mobile block this form of hotspot?
I'm currently on a grandfathered unlimited plan with another carrier but its pricey. I won't switch to T-Mobile or anyone else if I can't get unlimited hotspot for my laptop, streaming internet video, etc.
Thanks!
I came to tmobile from att from a grandfathered unl plan. They have started instating a 5gb limit on those plans. Truly unlimited for tmo is only 70 bucks plus what ever you are paying for your phone. Say roughly 90. Plus with the unlimited you still get 2.5 of hotspot. I am looking into right now if with a third party app you can get around the Hotspot limit.
Hello and thank you for taking your time to help me out.
I have a rooted samsung note II T-mobile phone on t-mobile network. My problem is this: I use to have 3GB of data that I was able to use to connect my devices on. I realized 3GB is not enough for me so I upgraded to T-mobile's "unlimited 4G data + 5GB of mobile hotspot" (This is the only unlimited data plan T-mobile offers). The problem is that when the 5GB of mobile hotspot is used up, it won't allow me to connect any of my devices anymore until my next cycle. Is there a way to bypass this 5GB of mobile hotspot that comes with my plan and tap into this unlimited 4G data to connect my devices? Thank you again for any advice.

Here's where I went, and it's worked great for me. I have 19 gigs of tethered data and I do not get an upsell webpage!
